To Stop the Cartels, Mexico Strongly Considering the Legalization of ALL Drugs

Slowly but surely the whole world will abandon the nonsense of using prohibition as a method of regulatory control. After all it has literally underwritten a mercenary army to impose control and market access over the wishes of everyone. I personally never imagined that it could become as bad as it is.

But it has and now it appears that Mexico will break the back of their local gangs by cutting of the Mexico component of their cash flow. This will likely see their operatives push into the USA in order to continue operations. The USA must do the same thing and end the whole trade.

What is important is that the global consensus has finally shifted in favor of legalizing everything and to then control and manage access as with alcohol and cigarettes. .

To Stop the Cartels, Mexico Strongly Considering the Legalization of ALL Drugs

Mexico's incoming presidential
administration is discussing plans to decriminalize all drugs, in an
effort to stop cartel violence.

This
week, Olga Sanchez Cordero, the future interior minister of incoming
Mexican president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, announced that the
government is strongly considering the decriminalization of all drugs.

Sanchez Cordero said at a seminar that she has full permission from the incoming administration to do whatever it takes to stop the cartel violence in the country, and ending the drug war is at the top of the list.

“On the subject of decriminalizing drugs, Andres Manuel told me,
and I quote: ‘Carte blanche. Whatever is necessary to restore peace in
this country. Let’s open up the debate,'” Cordero said.

“What no one can deny with hard data is that, at least in the
past 10 years, the Mexican government has been incapable of stopping
violence and responding to it with institutional mechanisms,” she added.

The steady increase in violent crime over the past few decades is
directly correlated with the escalation of the drug war. As we saw
during the times of alcohol prohibition, when you ban an inanimate
object, you create an incentive for people to get involved in the black
market distribution of that object. Since there is no accountability or
means of peaceful dispute resolution within the black market, buyers and
sellers are forced to resort to violence as their sole means of
handling disagreements.

Eventually, this violence spills over into the everyday world and
affects everyone’s lives. No one could imagine Budweiser and Miller Lite
in a back alley gunfight, but less than a century ago, during alcohol
prohibition, distributors of the drug were involved in shootouts on a
regular basis—just as drug gangs are today. Of course, all of this
violence came to an immediate end when alcohol was legalized. However,
it was not long before the establishment found a new crusade in the drug
war, which allowed them to continue the same policy, just with
different substances.

In 2001, Portugal became the first country in the world to end the drug war within its borders, and in the short time since, the country has seen a radical improvement in their society.
In regards to drugs, they actually now have less of a negative impact
on society in Portugal than they did prior to the end of prohibition.
There are now fewer drug-related deaths, fewer children getting a hold
of drugs, and fewer people doing drugs in general.

There are also many other factors that people often overlook,
including the fact that infectious diseases spread through needles and
dirty drug practices have declined rapidly in Portugal since the end of
drug prohibition. The police state is also not nearly as much of a
problem for residents as it once was. Many prisons have even shut down
because there is not enough crime.

Below are some graphs showing the effect that ending prohibition has had in Portugal:

Even
in areas with a declining homicide rate, the murder cases that are
going unsolved are continuing to climb. Police departments and
bureaucrats have a million excuses, but the drug war is one of the
primary reasons for this occurrence.

On one hand, indiscriminate killings become more common than crimes
of passion that are easy to figure out, but there is a much more
sinister aspect of this as well. If you look at the rate of
incarcerations for drug offenses, and how incredibly often drug cases
are “solved” and found in favor of the state, it becomes obvious that
the police have more of an incentive in their day-to-day activities to
hunt down drug users than murderers.

These people are not selfless public servants as the propaganda on
primetime television would lead you to believe, they are average people
just like you and me. They will even tell ya “I’m just doin my job,” so
like most of us, when they are on the job they try to get the most
amount of money for the least amount of work, and murder cases are
really tough work.

A cop could even miss his quota by taking the time and effort to hunt
down a murderer, instead of grabbing a kid with a bag of pot, which is a
lot easier to find and a lot easier to catch. Quotas are another thing
that many police departments deny, but time and time again evidence
surfaces that proves otherwise.

Recently, a former NYPD officer has come forward saying that he used
to ticket dead people just to meet his quota. This is not to say that
all cops are nasty people, but the way that their jobs are monopolized
by the state and focused on the drug war corrupts their position and
forces them to hurt innocent people and violate people’s rights, even if
they have the best of intentions.

Thanks to the drug war, merely on the whim of saying that they smell
something, cops are now able to enter homes, search cars and totally
violate the rights of nonviolent people. The drug war and terrorism are
the two biggest excuses used to violate people’s rights, yet according
to the national safety council, you are 8 times more likely to be killed
by a police officer than a terrorist.

The very existence of the drug war to begin with, or a
prohibition on any object, is a fundamental violation of natural rights
that should not exist in any civilized society.

About Me

18 years old, having cleaned out my HS library, I concluded the only ambition worth having was becoming a great genius. An inner voice cheered. Yet it is my path I have shared much to the Human Gesalt. Mar 2017 - 4.56 Mil Pg Views, March 2013 - Posted my paper introducing CLOUD COSMOLOGY & NEUTRAL NEUTRINO described as the SPACE TIME PENDULUM. Sep 2010 -My essay titled A NEW METRIC WITH APPLICATIONS TO PHYSICS AND SOLVING CERTAIN HIGHER ORDERED DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS has been published in Physics Essays(AIP) June 2010 quarterly. 40 years ago I took an honors degree in applied mathematics from the University of Waterloo. My interest was Relativity and my last year there saw me complete a 900 level course under Hanno Rund on his work in Relativity. I continued researching new ideas and knowledge since that time and I have prepared a book for publication titled Paradigms Shift. I maintain my blog as a day book and research tool to retain data, record impressions, interpretations and to introduce new insights to readers.
